The Bosch SHS63VL5UC holds our title for best cleaner of the bunch, as it’s powerful enough to take care of any dirt you throw at it. It’s a pain to use, so it’s not our favorite overall, but if cleaning’s what you care about, look no further.

The GE GDF610PMJES has more extras than models that cost twice as much. Featuring a nice slate finish, it has jets for washing water bottles, a flexible silverware rack, and customizable cycles that let you wash just the upper or lower rack.

Great cleaning power, a beautiful black stainless finish, and plenty of features including a handy third rack help the LG LDT9965BD live up to its billing as a premium appliance. Colorful, flexible, competent and quiet, the LDT9965BD does it all.

The Frigidaire FGID2466QF looks good, thanks to a smudge-proof stainless finish. It cleans well enough to scrape away bulky or stuck-on food, and it has lots of cycles and options so you can wash your dishes the way you’d like.

Turns out, you can cut the price of a dishwasher without cutting the cleaning power. The Kenmore 13002 handles stuck-on dirt with ease. For budget shoppers in need of a great cleaner, this is the dishwasher for you.
